Background: Ulftor was born in one of the many minor orc clans into the Rauvin Mountains on the North of Faerun. In his childhood he showed a natural aptitude to track and hunt so he join in an early age the hunter lodge of his clan. He basically sack any creature on the Everlund path, a merchants route that connect Everlund and Silvermoon, two major cities of the north. Ulftor was arrogant, so he decided to hunt alone and try to bring a good loot all by himself, so he went to Everlund Path and wait for its prey. An old human was spotted, he was heading south alone with a wagon, Ulftor ran attacked the human, but the human quickly subdue Ulftor using magic that made the own mountains where he lived turn against Ulftor. The human, named Elthan, kept him captive and took him south. On the way Elthan tried to show the orc how unbalanced were his actions and what he could do to restore such balance. In the beginning it was in vein but after something the human words start to make sense to Ulftor, such sense that after some time Ulftor woke up and no more bounds restrained him but he kept traveling with the human, know as a friend not a prisoner. He took him into the high forest in a small settlement called Ghost Tree, where an enormous tree stood. The folk of the village were discontent with the presence of the orc but they wouldn’t question the decision of Elthan to keep the orc. After some nights, during his sleep, Ulftor could hear the tall tree speaking to him, in the next mourning the told it to Elthan, and the human said he had received the calling from Silvanus and that he had to train Ulftor in the druidic ways. When his training was half complete Elthan died of natural causes, and what to do with the orc become an issue. Some wished to outcast the orc, others that the village should find another druid to complete Ulftor’s training in respect of Elthan wish. Finally it was decided Ulftor would be sent to Turlang’s Forest to have his training completed, cause any other human and elf druid refused to train the orc. Once upon arriving Ulftor realized that Turlang was a treant, leader of a druidic circle composed by more than one hundred treants. Ulftor was not trained by Turlang himself, but trained by another treant named Raunthar. During his training he discovered that the goal of the treant circle was to restore High Forest to its original extension. A few months after his training was completed, a conclave of elves arrived at Turlang’s Forest saying that it was a blasphemy to have an orc in their ranks, Ulftor didn’t participate in the discussion but was aware of it. After the fourth day of discussion decided to leave the forest not to bother anyone more, he didn’t wish to be the reason of all this problem to his teacher he learned to love. So without saying a word but leaving a letter to his teachers saying why he left, he head south towards Baldur’s Gate.

Goals: He wishes to use his time in Baldur’s Gate to become powerful, so one day he can help his teacher, Turlong, to fulfill his goal which is to expend the territory of the high forest.

Possible Plot-Hook Ideas and Misc Facts: One of the things he is looking is if it exist an spell to drastically increase the growth of plants in a big area. He is worries about the treants in the cloakwood he wants to know why they are so aggressive towards visitor, even druids, except the shadow druids, a group Ulftor wants to investigate too. Ulftor suspects the shadow druids may have something to do with the treants.
